Wilwood Red Superlite Front Brake Package with Drilled One-Piece Rotor/Hats for Selected Ford/Edsel/Mercury Full-Size Drum-Spindle Applications

The red-caliper version pairs drilled-and-slotted 12.88-inch one-piece rotor/hats with aluminum wheel hubs. Six opposed pistons operate each Superlite caliper, while the retained factory drum spindles establish the correct bearing and bracket configuration. Wilwood Engineering's product range serves motorsport, street-performance and specialized brake applications. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and based in Camarillo, California, the company designs and manufactures disc brake systems, calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Individual components must be selected to match the complete system rather than by appearance alone.

Fitment & Compatibility

Verify the actual spindle against the model/year conditions below. Include the small hub offset when assessing wheel position, and use DS1050 to check the brake-to-wheel outline. The hub kit does not include the flexible lines needed to join its calipers to the chassis plumbing.

Separate front flexline references are 220-8307, 220-7699 and 220-12168; select the length and vehicle-end connection appropriate to the chassis. Listed hub offset is +0.03 inch per side.

Use the fitment table below for the complete model, year, submodel and brake-option conditions; every listed condition must match the installed vehicle.
